Benefits
TEEClean incorporates an FDA validated cleaning method and removes the labor and time intensive manual portion of this process. TEEClean automates the enzymatic soak that has traditionally occurred in a sink or basin. By removing the manual process, TEEClean significantly reduces the handling of the delicate transducer of the TEE probe thus further reducing the chance for damage. Cleaning is the most important element to the proper reprocessing of any reusable medical device. Without effective cleaning of the reusable medical device any disinfectant or sterilant cannot properly work.
TEEClean provides electronic records retention of the clean and disinfection cycle and records device maintenance events. A printed record is provided with the built-in thermal printer
To use TEEClean simply place the bedside enzymatically treated, soiled TEE Probe directly into TEEClean, no additional steps required. Then, by following simple prompts on the color LCD display, the healthcare professional will enter information about the probe, disinfectant chemistry used for high-level disinfection and if the probe passed electrical leakage testing.
TEEClean is designed to provide cleaning and high-level disinfection of transesophageal ultrasound probes. The system has been cleared for use with TD-5 and TD-8 high-level disinfectants. These products have been cleared under 510(k) number K182891.
